Thanks. The clean sound of this amp is amazing. The Gretsch sounds great thru it. The Bugera is quickly becoming one of my favorite amps because of it's sound. I have no intentions of changing tubes or speaker....it sounds great the way it is. I resisted getting a Bugera a long time, but now that I've tried it...wow....

Quote:
BTW, speaking as a fellow Gretsch owner there are some nice British Invasion tones to be had from both the V22 and V5. Bearing in mind the upgrades I mentioned, I can get "NME '65" Vox AC50 tones in pentode mode and pre-Top Boost AC30 in triode (that Swamp Thang speaker sounds huge - hits like a 2x12") - your amp will sound different, so take the time to play with the Mid-Boost/EQ and various combinations of channel/master gain and volume until you find something you like; as for the V5, I performed similar upgrades (Preferred Series tubes/Eminence 820H speaker - think mini-Cannabis Rex here) shortly after I bought it in February. Even in stock form you're going to like this one - since it operates only in class-A triode you're squarely in early Vox territory (I've A/B'd it with the current low-power Vox AC combos, and IMO the V5 does it better); teamed it up with my Gretsch E-matic 5622T-CB when my band played a Stones tribute at a small club back in September - close your eyes and you'll think you're Brian Jones with his puke-green '64 Gretsch Double Annie...

A friend of mine has an earlier V22 and it's his main goto amp now. He also uses a Bugera extension speaker and highly recommends it for a balanced sound across the stage.

I just ordered an extension cabinet for the Bugera. 80 watts, 12" Turbo sound speaker.

Addictive little buggers, aren't they...

Well my buddy makes sense...for a balanced sound across the stage, two speakers would be necessary. So getting the extension speaker is a must.

FYI----Sweetwater has covers for the Bugera's very reasonable.
I learned the value of amp covers last week while it was pouring rain before and after my gig...the cover saved my amp from getting all wet.

Can I plug one guitar into the bright channel and the other into the normal and here them both or is it only one or the other?

I haven't tried but I'm guessing you can plug two guitars into it. I read some where that one guitar would sound normal and the other would sound a little brighter, this would be good a guitar that is a little dark.

I read the manual closely and could not confirm the ability to play two guitars. I also am confused about the pedal changing channels.

Thanks MM,
I get married in February so I sort of live in two places right now. My daughter and her guitarist boyfriend are coming for thanksgiving and I wanted to accommodate two guitars. I already left to come where I will be thanksgiving and only brought one amp. I wil just ask him to bring an amp. Thanks a bunch for testing. Now we all know. Still don’t have my pea sized brain wrapped around the channel pedal though.
